What you do know is that you can carry her off the battlefield if she’s wounded, but she can’t carry you.

No what I am talking about is humping half your weight for 12 hours, digging a hole, doing two up and two down and doing it all over for weeks at a time on short rations.

Do you know how badly you stink after a couple of days in the Bush. Then there is crotch rot, staph infections, jungle rot of the feet.

This was the easy part. Then a bunch of aholes decide to kill you and you have to keep a clear mind and follow orders with out question when you want to roll up in a ball and make it all go away.

But you can't because you owe your buds the same support that they would give you.
